Hosting in Russia: why to choose an alternative

Placing a site on Russian servers carries legal, security and reputational risks for Ukrainian business. We recommend alternatives with better connectivity and none of these risks.

Instead of Russian data centres, choose servers in Ukraine (minimal latency for a local audience) or in the EU — Poland, the Netherlands and Germany offer low latency, reliable infrastructure and compliance with European data protection law.

Bottom line: for most projects in Ukraine the ideal VPS means NVMe storage, 99.9%+ uptime, a convenient panel and support in your language. Start with the ranking leaders above and compare them side by side.

Frequently asked questions

We don't recommend it: it carries legal, security and reputational risks for Ukrainian business. Better to choose servers in Ukraine or the EU with better connectivity and none of these risks.

Servers in Ukraine give minimal latency for a local audience, while Poland, the Netherlands and Germany offer low latency, reliable infrastructure and compliance with European law.

Risks of third-party data access, instability from sanctions and restrictions, payment problems and reputational harm. For a serious project, it's an unjustified risk.

Poland and the Netherlands give 20–35 ms from Kyiv — faster than or on par with most Russian data centres, but with European reliability and no legal risks.

Качественная и быстрая служба поддержки (правда в ночное время принимают только срочные заказы, смотрите в личном кабинете при создании тикета есть опция выбора) Сервера в основном новые, по крайней мере у меня.
